About J Perry

We are an English family with 3 children.

Why J Perry chose Le Champ-Saint-Père

We chose to buy a holiday home in this area because we love the combination of peaceful, unspoiled countryside alongside miles of beautiful uncrowded beaches. It's the perfect place to relax, but we also like being able to dip into the more 'touristy' areas when the fancy takes us! The villa is where we spend most of our holiday time and so is furnished and equipped to a very high standard.

Perfect villa, wonderful location

This was our third visit to this little peace of heaven! Fabulous villa, comfortable, spotlessly clean and fully equipped with everything we needed. The location is wonderfully peaceful and the pool area is the perfect place to sunbathe and swim. We ventured out to the wonderful beach at Le Terrier and also visited Les Sables d'Olonne where there are lots of lovely restaurants, cafes and shops. I'm sure we'll be back for a fourth visit! Thank you.

We had a lovely stay. The villa is great both inside and out. We had a lovely time in the pool and also relaxing in the house when the evenings drew in. We also loved the towns and countryside in the area.

The villa is as described in the information but exceeded our expectations. It is located in a small hamlet and is quiet and secluded. The villa itself is of a high standard and is clean. The pool area is particularly impressive and you can sunbathe at any time of the day. It is handy to have a small supermarket and bakery a short drive away in the next village. It is well placed to visit major towns and attractions including La Rochelle which has to be our favourite! Natalie, the property manager, was very helpful. In all a great place to stay - we would recommend.

The villa was very tasteful and comfortable. We had good weather so spent a few days lying by the lovely pool and barbecuing in the peaceful garden. There are some great beaches nearby, so ventured to these as well. The village has a reasonably sized Carrefour which was useful, and we ate out a few times. The pizzeria in Maureil sur Lay has a pleasant atmosphere and has Chateau Marie Du Fou (a lovely local rosé). All in all a lovely relaxing week. Would recommend.

Owner's Response:

Thanks very much for your review James - really glad you enjoyed your stay at Les Peupliers. Many of the restaurants and bars in the small towns and villages in France tend to open at lunch times and weekends only - so different to the UK, but very much the french way!

Beautiful Villa with a brilliant pool

A beautiful spacious 3 bedroom villa with a fantastic pool area with plenty of loungers with an outside dining area. The villa is located in a small & quiet village with very friendly neighbours. The property was well maintained and the property manager Natalie, did an excellent job as it was very clean and the beds were made up on arrival. The welcome basket was a lovely touch after a long journey. I would recommend staying here and wouldn't hesitate to book again. Many thanks

Location

Le Champ-Saint-Père, France

Coast/Beach:

In this area we are spoiled for choice when it comes to beaches. Our nearest beach is Longeville, which is approximately 20 minutes drive from the villa, is great for water sports and very safe for young children. Beautiful, unspoilt beaches also at Bourgenay, La Tranche-sur-mer, Les Sables and many others. Our favourite is 'La Terrier', which is part of the stretch at La Tranche and has a fantastic surfing beach, great beach bars, water sports and is never too crowded.

Travel:

Both the airports at La Rochelle (45 minutes) and Nantes (1 hour), are well serviced with flights from the UK, namely by the budget airlines Ryanair and Flybe. The house can be reached by motorway in under 3 hours from St Malo (4 hours Caen), into which Brittany Ferries have frequent sailings from Portsmouth and others We can offer guests traveling with Brittany Ferries a discount. Please contact us for further information and advice about traveling to the Vendee.

Further Details:

Sailing, fishing, canoeing, horse riding and go-carting are all available locally and a Zip Wire Adventure Park is situated in the nearby Indian Forest. Also, the new O'Gliss Water Park, the 3rd biggest in France, is only 15 minutes drive away, situated next to the Indian Forest.

It is only a short walk from the villa down to the River Yon which also provides great fishing and cycling, with picnic areas and the local wine trail clearly signposted.
